I have a similr issue with a Centos 4 system at work, on which i've
installed FF3.
My solution is to send my printouts to a different printer where they
print perfectly!
I've got an old HP Laserjet 4 at my desk, and that browser on that OS
prints mostly junk characters on that printer. There's also a HP 4250
outside my door, and that browser/OS combination prints fine on that
printer.
I've not pursued it beyond noting that I can print on the other printer,
but given that I had to find packages providing a whole bunch of updated
libraries in order to even get FF3 to work at all, I'd imagine there's
some weird interactions going on there.
